[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From this thread is clear to me that people are too sensitive and think they are too important than they really are. If I ask someone whether they are planning on another child (I have done it often), there is ZERO judgement on my part. Frankly I could not care less, but since I have three kids and I meet other moms at playgrounds, the conversation is free goes there. It’s just chit chat! Why would I ever judge a mom of 1,2,3...7 kids? It isn’t my business and I really don’t care. It’s the same as asking how old is your kid, or where does he/she go to school. It never bothered me when people asked me whether I was planning for another or when they would tell me: “wow 3!? You are so brave!” WHO CARES![/quote]

You missed the point. Some people cannot *plan** for another child.  It’s not the same thing as asking about ages [/quote]

If someone asks “are you planning on having another child?” just answer them. Either tell the truth or lie. Or deflect. “Oh, you never know....this one is such a handful...”

I have a 7 year gap between kids. This question never bothered me because I just answered honestly. “I think we would like another child”. Now I have two kids and when someone asks I answer again truthfully, “I would love another baby, but I’m not sure it’s in the cards for us. What about you?” (Pro tip: when someone asks you this they usually just want to talk about their own plans.)

If someone told me I should have another child I’d smile and say, “I think so too!” I’m not sure it will happen but I’m telling the truth. [/quote]
